Customizing SpaceClaim Using its API

Imagine a CAD tool that can read parts from any CAD system, fixes dirty geometry, and won’t cost you a penny for training.

Have you ever wanted a special button in SpaceClaim that automated a common task, talked to other programs, or modified your model? Do you have in-house code that’s difficult to maintain? Have you ever wanted to add your own objects to a SpaceClaim design? Do you have special file formats you want to read and write? It’s never been easier than with the SpaceClaim API.

SpaceClaim’s free API provides the best platform for solid modeling application development of any mechanical CAD application. Not only is the API versioned, thread-safe, and .NET, but anything you create can take advantage of SpaceClaim’s powerful direct modeling capabilities. Unlike feature-based CAD systems that force you to develop tools that fit with the history-based paradigm, SpaceClaim lets you work with your geometry however you want.

In particular, this webinar will cover:

• An overview of what the API can do, with dozens of examples of both professional and entertaining applications
• An introduction to the basic concepts of 3D MCAD programming, such as transformations and part instancing
• How to get started with your own customizations and tools

Unlike many of our webinars, which assume that the audiences has little experience with CAD, this webinar will assume that you have some experience with (or interest in) programming in 3D.
